    Thanks Chunk!

    So it appears I am one step closer. When following the link to
    "https://localhost:443/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Chap4App.woa/wo/
    IzYhzB4TBmrlr74BOHMvVw/2.1" I got the browser warning about the
    unknown certificate, but then I only see "The requested application
    was not found on this server."

    Is there one more (perhaps even more simple) step I am missing?

    Thanks again,

    Aaron
